I actually thought this was a Babylon Bee/Onion headline when I first read that David Hogg, school shooting survivor and anti-2A activist, was named Democrat Vice Chair.
Some Democrats Are Already Regretting That David Hogg Was Selected as DNC Vice Chair
From the article:
Some think the election of Hogg may communicate to voters that the party still cares more about fringe social issues than the core hardships everyday Americans face.
Ya think?

Yup. Multiple sources confirmed. Also, he didn’t get into UC Santa Barbara either. He’d been accepted to Cal State San Marcos and Cal Poly, and in his home state, Florida Atlantic University.
And Harvard.
A 1270 SAT score isn’t terrible, it’s the 88th percentile. His 1270 was close to the 1230 75th percentile at UCSB. Probably would have had a better chance at getting into UC-Davis, where he’d be at the 50th percentile, give or take.
When my oldest was a frosh in high school, speaking strictly on test scores, Cal and UCLA were #1 and UC-SD was right behind them. Another standard deviation away was UC-Irvine, UCSB and UC-Davis…all had similar test scores. Another standard deviation past those three was UC-Santa Cruz, and another S. D. past UCSC was UC-Riverside. UC-Merced wasn’t around at the time.
By his junior year, UCSC’s acceptance rate dropped from about 83% to somewhere in the low 60’s. And in the intervening period, it looks like Irvine and Santa Barbara have elevated while UC-Davis has dropped to a virtual tie with UC Santa Cruz.
Current US News & World Report rankings, just for fun:
Princeton, #1 followed by MIT, Harvard, Stanford and Yale.
Next five are CalTech, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, and Penn.
Rest of the Ivies and Chicago are between #11 and #15.
- UCLA (15)
- Cal (17)
- UC San Diego (29)
- UC-Davis (33)
- UC-Irvine (33)
- UC-Santa Barbara (39)
- UC-Merced (58)
- Santa Clara (63)
- UC-Riverside (76)
- UC-Santa Cruz (84)
